According to the Governor, “if we are committed to winning souls for
Christ, obey the commandments of God, we will have a society that is very
peaceful where people do things with the fear of God, we will have good
governance too.”

resources, and what the people requires is to obey the word of God.
He commended Rev. Gideon Oyibo, acting Provost of the institution for
investing in an institute which will groom men of God, adding that it was also
laudable that the institute was tuition free and has lecturers who volunteered
to teach without salary.
The Governor admonished graduates of the institute to share the virtue
of the Lord, Jesus Christ, stating, “Jesus was not only a teacher but, a friend
and companion, the Christian message should always be at the core of your
lives.”

to thrive.
